A NEWBAY MEDIA PUBLICATION How Will You Tell Your Story? DM_cover1_ph1.qxd 12/17/10 9:04 AM Page 1 A NEWBAY MEDIA PUBLICATION How will you tell your story? Rev. Robert Jones, Sr. uses folk music to tell stories, and CDs to keep them alive. “Folk music is about everyday living. It sings about work and poverty, about love and loneliness, about bravery and fear, and it tells stories. Some stories are fun, some are poignant and some strike to the heart of who we are and who we aspire to be. Those of us who play this music have a responsibility to pass along its lessons to those who are ready eager to listen and learn.” Make it happen. www.discmakers.com Contents S The Musician’s Guide to Recording Presented by Music Player Network and SUZI ROK WORK IT! 4 Make Your Studio a Better Creative Space WRITE IT! 8 Songwriting Tips From the Hitmakers PRODUCE IT! 12 Top Producers Share Their Studio Secrets TRACK IT! 17 Recording Stunning Piano Tracks HAGGARD UL 24 40 Paths to Recording Great Guitar Tones PA 30 Capturing Beautiful Acoustic Guitar Sounds 35 Recording Lead Vocals For Maximum Impact 40 A Comprehensive Guide to Recording Bass 50 Capturing the Boom and Bang of Drums FROM DISC MAKERS 48 Why the CD Is Still a Crucial Music Media For Indie Artists 49 Choosing a CD Manufacturer MIX IT! 57 34 Steps to Crafting Dynamite Mixes MASTER IT! 61 Home-Studio Mastering Tips & Techniques S MARKET IT!

SOUNDING PART.zip - Sounding part of the thesis: D. Scarlatti - Sonata D minor K 141, V. Trojan - The Collapsed Cathedral SOUND SAMPLES.zip – Sound samples Declaration I declare that this thesis has been solely the result of my own work. Milan Řehák 2 Abstract In this thesis I discuss, analyse and intend to answer the question: What is the best way to capture the sound of the acoustic accordion? It was my desire to explore this theme that led me to this research, and I believe that this question is important to many other accordionists as well. From the very beginning, I wanted the thesis to be not only an academic material but also that it can be used as an instruction manual, which could serve accordionists and others who are interested in this subject, to delve deeper into it, understand it and hopefully get answers to their questions about this subject. The thesis contains five main chapters: Amplifying of the accordion at live events, Processing of the accordion sound, Recording of the accordion in a studio - the specifics of recording of the accordion, Specific recording solutions and Examples of recording and amplifying of the accordion in practice of other accordion players, and two recordings: D. Scarlatti - Sonata D minor K 141, V. Trojan - The Collasped Cathedral.

  • KAURA to Host Official 'That Which Defines Us' Record Release Show This Sunday, October 9 at the Viper Room in West Hollywoo
    For Immediate Release October 6th, 2011 KAURA to Host Official ‘That Which Defines Us’ Record Release Show this Sunday, October 9th at The Viper Room in West Hollywood, CA California natives KAURA and The Viper Room in Hollywood, CA are throwing a special record release show on Sunday, October 9th in celebration of the release of their latest album, That Which Defines Us. Doors open at 8pm and KAURA performs at 11pm. Entry is $10 with a flyer. The Viper Room is located at 8852 W. Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, CA. See below for more local appearances coming up soon! KAURA recently released their new album, That Which Defines Us, on September 20th, 2011. Produced by singer Malcolm Guess, That Which Defines Us is a testament of dedication, taking over two years to record with the assistance of rock luminaries such as Sylvia Massey (Tool, System of a Down, Danzig), Ken Andrews (Failure, A Perfect Circle) and Michael Romanowski (Dredg). Central to the album’s sound were instruments that the band collected on their travels to India, Thailand, Bali, Cambodia, Laos, and Nepal. KAURA (pronounced kay-aura) were born from the vision of infusing the aggressive power of hard, melodic rock with the haunting and ethereal sounds of ancient instruments. “We were really drawn to the sounds of these instruments because they are not traditionally heard in modern rock music,” explains guitarist Ben Rojas. Drummer Benjamin Jones adds, “We have always strived to create our own unique voice and incorporating these instruments helps us do that and create a really expansive depth of sound.” UPCOMING SHOWS: 10/9 The Viper Room, West Hollywood, CA @ 11pm 11/2 King King, Hollywood, CA - Day of the Dead Show @ 11pm 12/7 The Viper Room, West Hollywood, CA @ 11pm For more information about KAURA, please visit these sites: www.kaura.com www.twitter.com/kauraband www.facebook.com/pages/KAURA/34203763931 For press inquiries and additional information, please contact Adrenaline PR and Maria Ferrero at 732-462-4262 or [email protected].

    MARKET REPORT Thursday 13th May 2021 Due to staff holidays the market report will be slightly shorter than normal. Market Headlines US consumer inflation rose 4.2% in April year-on-year, the most since 2008, ahead of the 3.6% rate expected and up from the 2.6% figure in March, further stoking inflation fears. The US Colonial pipeline reopened following the cyberattack, as it warned it would take several days before supplies returned to normal, with twelve states having declared a state of emergency amid consumers panic buying petrol and stations running dry. Japan’s service sector sentiment index fell to 39.1 in April, from 49.0 in March, the first drop in three months. The S&P 500 fell 2.1%, the Nasdaq dropped 2.7%, the Nikkei 225 dipped 2.5%, the Hang Seng lost 1.7%, whilst the Shanghai Composite closed down 1.0%. European markets were lower. Investments on our buy list Hipgnosis Songs Fund (SONG) - announced its latest acquisition, the catalogue of legendary Grammy Award winner Andy Wallace comprising 100% of producer, mixer and performance royalties on 17,242 songs. Collaborations include Aerosmith, Biffy Clyro, Blink-182, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses, Jeff Buckley, Kasabian, Linkin Park, Nirvana, Paul McCartney, Prince, Rage Against the Machine, Run D.M.C., Rush, Slayer, Sonic Youth, Stereophonics, System Of A Down and White Zombie.
